Monday, March 26

I had a very relaxing weekend. Did nothing much except cleaning, scrubbing, vaccuming, dusting, washing, cooking, eating, watching movies and chilling out with mum and sis. On Sunday afternoon though, I was sitting out in the balcony and thinking how self-obsessed some people are - yeah cos I had time this weekend to think about such things :). In their eyes and minds, everyone else is wrong, everyone else carries the blame, everyone else needs to be punished. They don't take a moment to stop and think that the fault might be actually in them. While others can be wrong too, I always think that if someone said something about me, it maybe because of something that I did - irrespective of the nature of my deed. We can say and do alot of things that the rest of the world may interpret in many different ways. It's really upto them to see it the way they want to. But can we blame them for that? NO. Maybe we can criticise their opinion but BLAMING them is an entirely different thing. I always believe that whatever happens to us is due to our own actions and the various opinions that follow could be just anything. I can fight with people and say no you're wrong about me etc...but I can never blame them, can I? It's like blaming McDonalds for gaining weight. Perhaps if you stop going to Maccas everyday, you'd address the real cause of your problem - that'd be YOU, GOING THERE.

I believe that people who always choose to blame someone else for their own misfortunes are people who can't get over themselves...people with a mighty unhealthy ego...people who are so self-obsessed that they can't see anything beyond themselves. Seriously such people piss me off. And it's hard to ignore them too..rather hard to ignore their arrogance. Certainly that kind of arrogance is no attraction at all...it's a BIG turn-off btw. So I want to say this to such people: 'Get over yourselves. You may be right (/wrong) but if you can't admit that you're the one to be blamed for your own actions, then don't conveniently put it on someone else. Cos it's not going to cure the root cause of your problems. And the root cause of all your problems is YOU. Fix yourself or handle the opinions like a sport or just piss off'.

I am where I am today because of my own actions. I hear what I hear about me because of my own actions. I see myself the way I see myself because of my own actions. I am the cause of I.

Meanwhile I'd just grit my teeth and continue working, cos prison is not a sensible option right now neither is the jumpsuit sexy.

Found this in my email. All the pics I've seen from Australia, I have not seen the people this article is talking about.

Obese Aussies get big ambulances By Phil Mercer BBC News, Sydney

Childhood obesity can signal problems in later life Australia's obesity crisis has forced health officials to revamp their fleet of ambulances to cope with a sharp rise in overweight patients. Super-sized vehicles have been introduced and new air ambulances will be remodelled to carry heavier people.

Studies estimate that 67% of Australian men and over half of all women aged over 25 are overweight or obese.

So many Australians are now bulging at the waistline that ambulances are being equipped with heavy-duty stretchers.

These are capable of carrying patients weighing up to 220kg (34 st 9 lbs).

In the country's most populous state, New South Wales, officials have said that more super-sized ambulances may well be needed to cope with this health crisis.

Special vehicles with over-sized wheelchairs and a hydraulic tailgate were introduced a few years ago to transport larger people.

Their workload has doubled since 2004.

Obese toddlers

Dealing with the obese or overweight is becoming more common for medical teams and it can be an arduous experience.

In a recent case in Sydney it took 16 people several hours to take an injured man from his home to hospital.

He weighed about 400kg (69 st) and had broken his leg.

Emergency workers had to demolish part of his house to lift him out.

There are strong signs that Australia's obesity epidemic is getting worse.

A lack of exercise and a poor diet, including drinks loaded with sugar and high-fat snacks, are breeding a new generation of fat Australians.

Experts here are warning that by 2030 half of this country's children will be overweight or obese.

They have insisted that breast and colon cancer as well as diabetes and heart disease have strong links to obesity.

It is reported that some Australian hospitals are now treating obese patients who are as young as two years old.

Hey SunshineLove your words...I am where I am today because of my own actions.I hear what I hear about me because of my own actions.I see myself the way I see myself because of my own actions.I am the cause of I.If only more people could think that way!

Someone has made you mad, huh?Sorry to hear that.

Yes, I am having a marvellous time with my wonderful family, and my sweet puppy Jake.I feel so very blessed!Thanks for the visit, Sweetie!

Time for bed for me....did so much today, and I am sooooo tired!Hugggggggz!Hope your day is a good one!

well maybe its some people's way of coping with life...maybe makes it a bit easier for them..but yeah you do have to be responsible for your actions...but den abt d opinions other form abt u...i relly dont think u can go arnd changing each oe of dem n maybe u truly r not to blame

HELL YEAH....THE ANTHEM IS ON TODAY !!!!!!!!! :D

And since its monday grunge..ur pot n the fact tht nirvana's anthem is there reminded of Pearl Jam's Song called I am Mine

"The selfish theyre all standing in line...Faith in their hope and to buy themselves time.Me, I figure as each breath goes by,I only own my mind.

The north is to south what the clock is to time.Theres east and theres west and there everywhere life.I know that I was born and I know that Ill die.The in between is mine. I am mine.

The ocean is full cause everyones crying,The full moon is looking for friends at high tide.The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied.I only know my mind. I am mine."

** I was sitting out in the balcony and thinking how self-obsessed some people are - yeah cos I had time this weekend to think about such things :).

Idle mind is a devil's workshop ... sometimes its easier to keep one self bz and not go on evaluating ppl nutty :)

** In their eyes and minds, everyone else is wrong, everyone else carries the blame, everyone else needs to be punished.

Right / Wrong is a Point of View dear

** I can fight with people and say no you're wrong about me etc...but I can never blame them, can I?

didn't nutty just do that with ur friend with whome to called for PEACE :D

** mighty unhealthy ego

again, these differ from person to person. perceptions ;). it might be considered healthy ego by others :p

** And it's hard to ignore them too..rather hard to ignore their arrogance.

ignoring em is the best way to put em off ... oh yes you can ... but that would really piss em off ;)

** And the root cause of all your problems is YOU.

in most cases it is that way nah nutty? it much easier to change thyself than trying to change the world :)

** I am the cause of I

ooooh now ur sounding like my yoga instructor ... he goes around saying "I am that I ammmm, I am that I am, I am not this mind, I am not this body, I am not the senses ..." ... sometimes I giggle inside when I listen to it all :D ... when did ya become Miss.Gyan ;))

well i always believe that everyone is entitled to an opinion.. it doesnt necessarily have to be the same as mine just as my opinion doesnt have to match theirs.. if its important.. i try and talk abt it.. make my side of the story clear just so i am understood..but u cant make the world agree with u and u cannot blame others for the consequences of your choices..

hi Keshi hw are you feeling now? I am sorry if my comments hurt ya ...you know what i am talking about !!

People dont undersatnd that before pointing out fingers or blaming someone else , they should first look with in themselves how pure they are? which they dont do !!

Just ignore them dear !! and dont spoil ur mood thinking about this.

Feel proud for what you are and what you have achieved in life !! whether its little or more. You have struggled so much in ur life ans these petty small talks should not shake u. Be strong!! and i know you are :)

Guess what its my that friends bthday today, i really want to wish her !! But i am little scared dont know why ? ^-^

**Anyway it is when people see their own faults in others and criticize others for the same faults.

thats so right.

yep Obesity is a prob in Aus. I hope I wont fall into that category soon :)

HUGGGGZ n Nitey nite sweetie!

-----------------------------------

hehehe Steph :)

-----------------------------------

Johno nah I didnt :) but tnxxx!

-----------------------------------

Amy hows u?

well yeah..it's like they wanna hide wut they r doing behind their own ass. Sooner or later they r gonna find it tho.

-----------------------------------

yeah n ty Nakji!

-----------------------------------

True Autumn, ty!

-----------------------------------

Margie? Wut a pleasant surprise HUGGGGGGGGZ!

yeah my own so-called friends make me realise that I dun stand anywhere in their life. Cos the minute something goes wrong in their life, they point fingers at me and I really dun get that.

Enjoy ur time with the family sweetie! Jake is a bundle of JOY :)

-----------------------------------

Thumbee Im sorry u have such a crap boss.

Will be in ur blog soon.

-----------------------------------

so true Desperado.

Love the lyrics by Pearl Jam!

-----------------------------------

Neihal yeah..and when it's so obvious that it's their fault!

-----------------------------------

Samy nah if Im to achieve that status I'd be in Nirvana right now. Im only human and so I'll be evaluating stupid ppl - PPL who affect my life negatively. So that I know who to avoid next time.

**Idle mind is a devil's workshop

I dun call my mind idle. Im not the one who's finding reasons to blame others. Others r doing that to me.

**it might be considered healthy ego by others

I really dun care what others think abt this. Cos this is abt how I feel. Others can go do their own blog post abt this.

**didn't nutty just do that with ur friend with whome to called for PEACE

Did I blame her? I dun think so.

**ignoring em is the best way to put em off

nah I cant ignore..atleast not now. When the anger is settled then I'd learn to ignore em. For now this is how I feel and Im not ashamed to express it.

tnxx Samy!

-----------------------------------

Aditi yes.

** it doesnt necessarily have to be the same as mine just as my opinion doesnt have to match theirs.

thats what I mean. But some ppl r pretty quick to force their opinion on another and claim themselves pure and right. When infact they r the wrong ones.

-----------------------------------

Icedude todai if someone tries to mess with me, they r gonna cry for a very long time :)

-----------------------------------

DJ tnxx!

**I Think To Be ME

good one.

-----------------------------------

Poo ty n hugggggggz!

**they should first look with in themselves how pure they are?

I mean Im not saying Im 100% pure...no ways! I have my tanties too. but it really pisses me off when ppl r clearly in the wrong yet put the whole blame on someone else...and worse on a friend! Talk abt being taken for granted.

txt ur friend and wish her...bdays come only once a year and life is short too.

agree to a large extent on wha you say here.... just wanted to put a catch though....

sometimes the victim is just a child... still not mature enough to tell the difference between good and bad.... or not grown-up enough to have the will-power to say 'No'....

so the mac's example can fall under this... it is not adult obesity that people are worried about, but child obesity, which has increased alarmingly in the recent years because of mcdonalds etc... and these corporations (like cigarette companies), try their level best to hook a child....

Keshi, The reason people blame others is because it is the easiest thing to do. They dont like being told that they are wrong.. or it is their fault. Only a few people are ready to accept that whatever is happening or happened is the result of their actions.

Do you think you did nothing over the weekend??? I don’t even do half of the things which you have mentioned here, n still afterwards I think that where my weekend has gone!!!

I am the cause of I.That’s great of you keshi.. but I don’t think so that everyone thinks in the similar manner. People don’t like to take any kind of responsibilities.. but they just like to blame others and pass the responsibilities.

N take care.. Monday morning is not a nice time to get pissed off :) *hugssssss*

Hi,Keshi...this was an extremely interesting topic,for me..something I often ponder about,is,wouldn't the world be a better place,if the 'I' factor could be eliminated.However,it never does.Everyone is concerned about the other's faults,and,'who to blame?'.To some extent,I try to avoid this by not reacting instantly to the biggest provocation,instead,I try to put myself in the other person's shoes and see why they would be saying what they're saying.I concur thoroughly with the thought that 'I am where I am because of my actions'.:)

"heard about a creed called cribbers? ur life throws at u what u build out of it and the more u blame others for ur life's destiny the more u give the control of ur life in the hands of others and thus starts the circle!better take self control or else be labelled as a cribber."

aw...keshi wat or better whos making u angry girl?dont get urself worked up darling! i kno how it sux wen people push their opinion forward especially its not a correct one! but well, everyones got a mind and so they sit forming judgements and opinions! nuthin one can do abt it. but u said it right, "Fix yourself or handle the opinions like a sport or just piss off."take care girl! have a good week!

True say... those people are freakin annoying lol But all the same.. in saying that you are the cause of "I", this is true however you are also you due to your surroundings, if people appease those self obsessed people, then they will continue to remain as so. The things and people around us play a great hand in determining who we are.

Hey how are u ..been ahile ..Im here working I suppose... www.livinginpoetry.blogspot.com has a tribute for Paul of spiritualdiablog and now in his new website www.originalfaith.com. Hope u can join us in this tribute and if you can helps us spread the word among his blog friendsThanks, see u there

hey keshi.. sometimes it is easier to do so. sadly, i can say ive blamed someone else for my f up's once or twice. eventually realizing that its my fault, but initially its easy to blame the other person. but i think everyone does it once or twice - its the fact whether u realize it was your fault later and fix things is whats MOST IMPORTANT. once i calm down and stop over dramatasizing things i realize "oh fuck" haha.. and admit i was wrong.

OH AND SOO TRUE "hell hath no fury like a woman pissed off" --> ppl have been scared of me when im REALLYYYY pissed off. hehe.. may be im just scary in general.

Good morning.... Yu are right too many people dodge responcibility, simply because it is easier that way... It is hard to believe that one may in fact be *gasp* wrong... and takes a lot of courage and maturity to fess up when you stuff up.

** but child obesity, which has increased alarmingly in the recent years because of mcdonalds

I agree...but there r some children who dun eat Maccas everyday. Who know what thet r doing. I believe it's also parents' responsibility to advise their kids as to what's good/bad to eat.

-----------------------------------

Praddy yeah tnxx!

-----------------------------------

Aditi exactly! Especially when they matter...

-----------------------------------

Akshay tnxx!

**They dont like being told that they are wrong.. or it is their fault.

Fleiger hey tnxx! These r the times I feel I'd be betta off being a ghostess :)

**You don't live hundred years by thinking so much

-----------------------------------

ty Jeevan!

-----------------------------------

hey Suga HUGGGGGGGGZ! I missed ya..

**The things and people around us play a great hand in determining who we are.

Very true, I agree. When I said that Im the cause of I, what I meant was eventually u r what u r cos of ur decisions. I mean ppl can affect us yes, but eventually isnt it in us to make the decisions...think abt it.

Everytime I listen to TEEN SPIRIT, I think of u. Cos I rem last time this song was on in my blog, u mentioned that u love it heaps.

:) TC n tnxxx!

-----------------------------------

hehe Chocolte HUGGGGGGZ! I can be quite scary too..when Im angry Im like a fiery Cheetah out to get her pray.

I agree...even I have blamed others for my own mistakes. But ofcourse Im reasonable! :) There r some pretty ridiculous claims that ppl make.

-----------------------------------

ty Deepthi!

-----------------------------------

G'day Aidan!

**and takes a lot of courage and maturity to fess up when you stuff up.

Spot on! Alot of ppl dun realise that it takes alot more grace to accept they r wrong.

Hi Keshi, your post reminds me of an expression I heard a loong time ago ... whenever you point your finger at somebody, there are three fingers pointing back at you.try it ... point your index finger and look at your habd ...

Sadly, personal responsibility is a thing of the past. These days, if you dive into a creek without checking the depth first, you can sue the council for your broken neck and paralysis - because they didn't put signs up telling you not to dive.

Having worked in customer service for several years, I see it on a daily basis - somebody complains that they haven't received something, without acknowledging that they gave us the wrong address to send it to. Whatever the problem is, it's always somebody else's fault. People waste so much time and effort in placing blame, instead of just dealing with it and getting over it.

It is a big gripe of mine, that individuals do not take enough responsibility for their own safety and wellbeing. People place too much reliance on "the government" or "the workplace"... I'm not allowed to stand on a table at work, and if I fall it is the company's fault. It's sickening.

Oh yeah!I blame my grandfathers for deciding to live here instead of Australia!Our actions do have consequences but we can't control or sometimes even predict how others will react...which makes things interesting...anyway the law of averages states that if we keep sending out good vibes then MOST of the time we will get good vibrations back...the Karmic Boomerang.

Keshi! wassup?? philosophy n all :)nice post and nice message... I believe in that... but I dont mind what others say about me, I just turn my deaf ear to them... I am what I am :)Should write more posts like this, so S0ul will change atleast by reading all this... :)

BTW are you the right most one in the pic in the previous post?? sorry was busy at work... :(

"I am the cause of I" - wouldn't agree with this totally coz there are factors which affect us and are totally out of our control..but yes, we can decide how we want to react to them...and abt blaming others for things that happen to us- well, that's just the easy way out isn't it? far easier than introspection into oneself..

ODE TO PERFECTION.The Goddess of blog, The template of all that is beautiful in mind and body. Keshie is the person that every mothers son would receive approval of from their mother and every son dreams that his mother should be a keshie too.Could not her maker clone a keshie for you."Yes my Son but only if you are good and clean; say your prayers and eat your Brussels sprouts"

About Me

Music seems to adore me as it keeps reaching my ears...guitars and cars...friends I cannot be without...poems, life, ocean, people...these are some things I simply love. This is my personal e-diary...if anything I blurt out here hurts anyone, my sincere apologies in advance. What I write here are my deepest thoughts that I hardly discuss with people close to me in real. These are my conversations with my mind and the walls who sometimes have better listening powers than humans. But ofcourse I value everyone's views and I intend to grow from them, so you're most welcome to express yourselves here.
Life is too short so I try to 'live' longer every day...and yes one day at a time.
Knowledge is power hence people have been the source of that power in me...I thank them always.
